Mara Lopez plays Rosa -- Michelle's best friend and toughest competitor, who ends up a single mother. The two girls struggle against fate and financial limitations to reach their goal of finishing school. Their mentor and inspiration is Teacher Sandra, portrayed by Agot Isidro, who leads her own fight against a corrupt principal.

Actors Gardo Versoza, Irma Adlawan, Carl Guevarra and Rocco Nacino will also be starring in the series -- which will be shot on location in Boso Boso, Antipolo starting this weekend.

TITSER is directed by acclaimed indie filmmaker and head of the Ateneo Filipino Department Alvin Yapan and written by Bayan Ko's creator Nessa Valdellon. It will be filmed on high definition and go through the color grading process.

TITSER begins airing Sunday, August 4 on GMA News TV Channel 11 -- but already, production is in full swing.
